I am a photographer and art administrator working on projects rooted in social justice. Sociopolitical issues related to inequality and diversity are central to my work leading to connections with individuals, which result in candid portraits and intimate scenarios taken in both public and private spaces.
Genuine involvement and engagement are essential to me; often, my work has a strong feeling of reportage with many images showing the subject mid-exchange, active in communicating their situation. Reflected are bonds of support and camaraderie within each specific community – bonds that make resistance possible against adversity and exclusion.
Originally from Nicaragua, I came to the states with my mother as a child and now live and work in Oakland, California.
